    The guy who murdered Olof Palme was a well-known nut job.The police screwed up the investigation, made important evidebce unusable, so he was never convicted (as far as I know).

    The nut job said that Palme was "too left wing", but there may have been more to it than that, a bit of racism perhaps, because Palme was not pure Swedish.

    I lived in Sweden during Palme's time as prime minister, and I did not think much of him. He was not truly democracy-minded, very fond of fixing things for the rich and powerful, would do anything at all to stay in power.
